[QUOTE="InSaneFisherMan, post: 493798, member: 26281"] First, I would sketch out a simple wiring diagram. Inline/fuse block ? - Both electrically provide protection, but I find it much easier to find/replace fuses when on the water with a fuse panel. Lights fuse - most lights are listed in watts. Divide watts by 12 and you will have the amperage that light requires. Wire type - there are specific standards required for boats, just depends on how far you want to go. 14AWG is good. I attached the hand drawing I did for my boat, simplifies the process. [/QUOTE]
